How to Make Oriental Chicken Buns
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet, combine 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1/4 cup soy sauce.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture comes to a simmer.
- Add 1.5 lbs of bite-sized chicken pieces and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until lightly browned and cooked through.
- Remove the skillet from the heat.
- Using a slotted spoon, remove the chicken from the skillet, reserving the pan juices.
- Drain the chicken well.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 2 tablespoons water until smooth. Stir this mixture into the reserved pan juices.
- Return the skillet to medium heat.
- Bring the sauce to a boil, stirring constantly, until it thickens and becomes clear.
- Add the cooked chicken, 1/2 cup chopped water chestnuts, and 2 thinly sliced green onions to the thickened sauce. Stir to combine.
- Remove from heat and let cool for 10 minutes.
- Separate the refrigerated biscuit dough into 10 biscuits. Gently press or roll each biscuit into a 4-inch circle.
- Place 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture in the center of each dough circle.
- Fold the dough over the chicken filling, completely enclosing it.
- Seal the edges well, pinching to form a ball.
- Place the filled biscuits seam-side down on an ungreased baking sheet.
- Brush the tops of the biscuits with 2 tablespoons of melted butter and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds.
- Bake for 9-12 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
